Holiday Attractions: Don't miss your chance to see the annual performance of the Nutcracker Ballet with a live symphony orchestra at this beautiful Santa Barbara theater. Crowned by a grand tower and a red tile roof, the Arlington is a gem of Spanish Revival architecture. Built in 1931 for Fox West Coast Theaters, the Arlington continues an Iberian theme inside. The auditorium itself mimics a courtyard, complete with stairways, balconies, faux painting and an electrified "star"-studded sky overhead. The theater also plays current movies, as well as hosts comedians and famous musicians. There is limited free street parking as well as paid lot space nearby. Many restaurants and shops are within easy walking distance.
